minion 29 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Just wondering what some of you would do in this situation? I currently have a job I really like. Its mon - fri 8-5 and while it can have its off days I usually enjoy it. I am 27 and the salary is rougly £21,000 a year. I have been for an interview for another job with one of our competitors and have a really good feeling that I will be offered the job. It is an external position and teh salary is £33,000 per year. Would you take the job for the money and risk it not being as good as my current job, or would you stick too what yoy know? Its the same industry and £11,000 extra is alot of money when you have a young family. The new job looks very good and an exiting challange but there is more responsability and I would be covering the whole of Scotland where as at presant I am mostly office based and always in Edinburgh. What would you do? Cheers. Edited December 21, 2007 by minion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrycatcat 31 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 If its a rival firm and they offer you the job ask your present employer if they will match it for you to stay. If they say no say well Im sorry but I need the money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
